I think it was the style for the time. I like German silent movies but they always way over acted too. It's the same with Bollywood comedies, they go way over the top usually.
I'll admit though Glen Campbell was not very good.
The US is no longer set up for people that earn money. It is set up for those that inherited money. In Northern New England we have tons of people that moved here from down country with full pockets that decided they knew more about how our towns should be run than the locals. Spending went through the roof, mainly to benefit the wants, not needs, of the new residents.
I would love to know the percentage of these farmers that never set foot on a farm have Obama bumper stickers on their BMWs.
Then only with agriculture subsidies for city dwelling farmers that may not even produce a crop.
The largest annual subsidy, called direct and countercyclical payments, is given to farmers regardless of what crops they grow — or whether they grow anything at all. The Post found that, since 2001, at least $1.3 billion was paid to landowners who had planted nothing since 2000. Among the beneficiaries were homeowners in new developments whose backyards used to be rice fields.
I don't know that the dating sites are the best place to look for anyone.
I bet if you and Chippewa go out together and just visit with people you may find there are more women who will be charmed by you than you might believe right now. Just be the real you and they will be impressed.
Believe whatever you want. I'm not getting baited into your stupid game. The simple fact I will not roll over on command for someone who attacks my belief system does not mean that I lack conviction to my beliefs.
There have been plenty of attack threads against Christianity and Islam on these threads that claimed to be self defense against people "shoving religion" down the OP's throat.
FYI, when you fire the first shot it is not self defense. It's an attack. Root through you friend's recent threads to see an example of that sort of thread.
My brother and his GF just arrived and they are much more interesting than you.
The rabbits who caused all the trouble by James Thurber
Within the memory of the youngest child there was a family of rabbits who lived near a pack of wolves. The wolves announced that they did not like the way the rabbits were living. (The wolves were crazy about the way they themselves were living, because it was the only way to live.) One night several wolves were killed in an earthquake and this was blamed on the rabbits, for it is well known that rabbits pound on the ground with their hind legs and cause earthquakes. On another night one of the wolves was killed by a bolt of lightning and this was also blamed on the rabbits, for it is well known that lettuce-eaters cause lightning. The wolves threatened to civilize the rabbits if they didn't behave, and the rabbits decided to run away to a desert island. But the other animals, who lived at a great distance, shamed them saying, "You must stay where you are and be brave. This is no world for escapists. If the wolves attack you, we will come to your aid in all probability." So the rabbits continued to live near the wolves and one day there was a terrible flood which drowned a great many wolves. This was blamed on the rabbits, for it is well known that carrot-nibblers with long ears cause floods. The wolves descended on the rabbits, for their own good, and imprisoned them in a dark cave, for their own protection. When nothing was heard about the rabbits for some weeks, the other animals demanded to know what had happened to them. The wolves replied that the rabbits had been eaten and since they had been eaten the affair was a purely internal matter. But the other animals warned that they might possibly unite against the wolves unless some reason was given for the destruction of the rabbits. So the wolves gave them one. "They were trying to escape," said the wolves, "and, as you know, this is no world for escapists."
Moral: Run, don't walk, to the nearest desert island.
Marx had clearly identified organized religion as a threat to the worker because the loyalty of individual workers should be to each other, not to a supreme being. As a result, Stalin took steps to limit the power of religion in the USSR. Churches and mosques were closed and converted into schools or movie theaters. Religious icons were melted down, and meetings were banned throughout the country. Religion was forced to go underground, in order to hide from the prying eyes of Stalin's police.
During 1959, The Dalai Lama went to China to speak with Chairman Mao Zedong. Mao told him, "Religion is poison. ... Tibet and Mongolia have both been poisoned by it."
It is a requirement of my employment that I not make any public statements that could reflect on my work or my employer. To avoid problems I don't post photos and I change a few details in my profile to make myself less identifiable.
I like having the income and the feeling I am making a difference with what I do. Some may be satisfied to be unemployed and online 18 hours a day but it's just not for me.
If you want to cover my wages send the money then we'll talk about a photo.
Apparently she also has a "right" to trash believers. Read her first post in this thread, Do believers have a right to trash her too or is it a one way street?
If I claim I have perfect vision and throw away my glasses the words in the morning newspaper will be blurry. If I were to try to blame that on the printer others would be able to look at the page, see the crisp print and determine the truth.
Find a picture of David Bowie from the Ziggy Stardust days. Make him a little taller, smaller hips, slightly more chest, longer hair and add wire rim glasses. It will be alarmingly close.
OK went overboard pointing out her weight problem. I was cruel to do that.
However, that does not change the fact she responded to the opening post in this thread with a bigoted, hateful statement that amounted to these people deserve to die.
For whatever reason she has a problem dealing with Christians. She justifies it by cherry-picking past events and the actions of other bigots.
Why is an Atheist bigot any better than a Christian bigot?
Sadly though some forms of bigotry are more acceptable. Rage and hatred towards Christians and Muslims is rampant on this site and almost never dealt with by the site owners. Bigoted "jokes" against Pakistani, Hindu and Sikh people are acceptable when they would be pulled, justifiably, were they about a Black, Hispanic or Asian person.
Again, why is one form of bigotry acceptable and not another?
